I got the parts Bruce thanks.

Somebody installed the o-ring in that center housing
with the teflon facing the water.

I have two engines with all the combustion rings done like that from the
factory.  One an '88 and the other an '88.  What's up with that?

Good question. Either Haynes is wrong or the factory had 
a problem. I would guess the best place for the teflon
is facing the hot gases. I could be wrong.
This is what Haynes thinks too.

The Hayes Rotary Engineering teflon coated O-rings solve the problem
by having the teflon coating all around the O-ring.

Our man Ed Andersen now has them in his 13B powered RV6.
